May your summer be a-buzz with bees of some sort. Now, don’t freak out and reach for a fly-swatter! It is Pollinator Week! Besides, bees are SO pretty!

And we need our honeybees and other wild ones, after all, you like to eat, right? And don’t say “Oh, who cares about honey?” or I will have to hit you with…oops, never mind, almost no fruit left to throw. Pollinators are even needed by chocolate! Do I have your attention now?

I hope the White House knows that to save the bees, it will have to address the issue of the toxic pesticides MOST responsible for their decline.
